3 Amps via the mineshaft is one of two possible routes into the 3 Amps trail below the Lindani cliffs. The decent via the mineshaft is a thrilling trail to be enjoyed by more experienced riders as it is a steep descent (max gradient 40%) that is quite loose in areas. The alternative less technical but much longer route to the 3 Amps trail is to take a right turn at the top of the mountain onto 3 Amps reverse.
